When I was in high school and college I had a very quick. I think part of it was that I strangely enjoyed getting into fist fights,. Makes zero sense looking back but chalk it up to being drunk and immature.

Are we talking like Will Muschamp type anger, or just flip you the bird at an intersection type anger?

I knew someone, used to run all over the place with him back in the day, got in all kinds of good natured trouble. Hadn't seen him in years, but he was on the news the other day for shooting two people and then shooting and killing himself. He always was a loose cannon, fortunately the two he shot survived.

some people are just born unhinged. Guess they were useful back in tribal times, but it seems both genders suffer from the ailment..

My son is 10. His friend has anger issues. Nice kid, always smiling but if something doesn't go his way he snaps. Started out getting in scuffles with kids in 1st grade basketball and has just escalated. I thought football would be a good outlet for him but it's carried over to there too. They've played on the same tackle football team the past two years and he always gives kids cheapshots after the play if they score or have a big play. Refs have made him sit for a while before in a few games until he chilled out. I'm sure it comes from the dad though. He has a temper but also pushes the kid to do travel sports. I made a comment last year, when he was in 3rd grade, during a football game. I told the dad his son had a good game or made a good play. All he said was "he needs to toughen up". Seems like he's trying to make the kid into a star athlete. It will be interesting to see how this plays out as he gets older.

You're a pretty shitty brother. Obviously something is going on with him, either stress related, drug related, or psychologically. As a brother, you should be doing your best to find out what exactly is going on, not posting about in on a message board.

I've got my own temper issues. I always knew it. And I'm not really as bad as some of the stuff people are describing. I won't cause a fight or anything. Not going to chase a car down for road rage. But I'll hit my steering wheel and curse. Or throw the remote control during an LSU game. Now that I have a son, it's something I'm trying to be more cautious of. First, because of the cursing. Second, because it's just a bad example and I know I got my temper from my dad, and he got it from my grandpa. It's noticeable.

My dad has severe anger issues. But he's also extremely stubborn. Every time he drives he blows up with road rage. He also thinks he is invincible. I'm pretty worried one day he's going to blow up on the wrong person and end up shot or in prison. I just have no idea how to convince him to get help.

Yes, I have a serious anger problem to the point its dramatically began affecting my relationships. I've always been very hot headed but its gotten significantly worse the past few years. I realized it when my girlfriend couldnt say a single word to me for almost 2 weeks after I blew up on her about....her leaving the tip at the restaurant. I've been trying to run and lift at the gym more and it seems to be sorta helping.
This is strangely something that doesnst happen to me. I'm cool as a cucumber behind the wheel and cant understand why people get so stressed and freak out.

Try to convince your brother to get checked out medically. 55 is young for dementia, but it's not unheard of, and it sometimes manifests as emotional or behavioral issues.

I was going to wisecrack about the Rant and all the angry posts, name calling, blaming and general verbally abusive 'Tards who bottom feed in these parts. But as I read my way through this thread, I recognized myself in some of the descriptions, either as a perp or as a witness to over the edge anger. And I realized it is a problem for me and a lot of people. Often my anger comes out in sarcasm or cheap shots, because I'm not confrontational in more direct or potentially physical ways (which might hurt... me). Sometimes it's behind the wheel, or angry outbursts at inappropriate times. Ranting, muttering, angry faces. Didn't like what I saw about me. So I decided to own up, apologize to any I may have offended here over the years, and to definitely not to wisecrack about angry Rantards. Because that is too close to home. And I want to do better in the present and future.

I would guess it is your ignorance that puts him on edge.

You're a good man Sabi. I am in a similar situation. 2 stepdaughers (16,13). There dad is a bully to women. Called him out on his bullshite early on and has not given my wife or myself any problems sent. The girls love their Dad, which is great, but they also don't open up to him, especially the 16yr old. They just don't trust talking to him, because he has the intellect of a 12 yr old. So the 16 yr old comes to me with any personal issues or to talk about boyfriends or advice for college and the future. They are great girls and I would never attempt to replace their father, but I would do anything to better their lives or help them along the way.

Sounds like we're in very similar situations.

I can truthfully say that I do not know anyone with severe anger issues....

I'm not a doctor but my first thought was frontal lobe dementia.

My anger issues are so based on being hangry.......I also have a very low tolerance for pretentious folks.
